Advising

Students considering law school should make a pre-law advising appointment using Handshake. Pre-law adviser Brandon Treviño and other career advisers can help you understand the application process, including how to investigate a career in law and maximize your academic, leadership and professional experiences.

If you're working on your applications, advisers will teach you how to:

  • Identify appropriate schools
  • Acquire recommendation letters
  • Develop personal statements and essays that communicate your background and skills
  • Network effectively with law school admission professionals, faculty members and attorneys
